People want their stuff - especially when times are tough. It's human nature.

I'm can't stand Corbett or Christie, but states can't print money like the feds and unlike the feds are required to balance state budgets.

Due to that, cuts have to happen in recessions like this. States can't have federal style "stimulus" with money printed out of thin air. While I disagree with where Corbett has been cutting, a D or R in office would have had to do it anyway as tax revenue is down (plus, Corbett has been justifiably taken to task for his misogynistic tendencies).

Can't speak for NJ as I don't follow it as closely as PA, but PA has the second or third largest state legislature in the nation. It is massively bloated, extremely costly and Corbett has not touched it. Cut the number of members of the General Assembly in half, and cut the support staff the same amount.

Use that money for education.

There's a smaller government solution that does not take away from what I consider important.
